Ruger vs Springfield

[hurley842002]

Good looking 1911, by the way. I'm kind of partial to the all black model myself.

I've always been partial to all black/park'd models, but maybe I'm getting soft lately, because stainless is really growing on me.

Well, congrats. We want a minimum 200 round range report.

Should have held out for the new alloy Ruger

More expensive and I don't like the two tone colors

Never saw that in the commander series.

For a little more $ you could have gotten the Springfield Armory Range Officer Champion. (Commander size) Parkerized slide & black anodized AL. Frame.

Seeing as it's his only 1911, I think it's better he didn't get an alloy frame. Just my opinion, but I wouldn't buy an alloy frame for anything except carry only... limited shooting.

Well after cleaning and lubing the new SR1911. I can say it ran very well. I'm not a 1911 / Single Action pistol fan. But (over lapping another thread) having an impressive amount of components for 45acp, why not. Factory 230 and hand loads 200 ball without a glitch. Now to locate a threaded bbl with bushing & link.

I vote Ruger because it has one nice feature that isn't found on other 1911's. And integral plunger tube. It's made into the frame on the Rugers and isn't a separate piece. If you've ever had one come loose you know what a nice feature the integral tube is.

Although, I am basing this info off of something I read before they hit the market. You might want to verify that.

Found this thread while searching for information.

I have a new to me 1911. While manipulating the safety the plunger tube came loose and plunger popped out and slid over the side of the safety locking it up.

Sent it back to manufacturer to be fixed.

Is it a common thing for plunger tubes to come loose?

Never happened to any of my 1911's or 2011's or people I know. I think it's a very small percentage of pistols and if installed and staked properly, it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for the insight. It's my first 1911. Should be good to go once I get it back.
